<p>Amanda - don’t be too impressed w the finger-scan. It’s just a smartphone from AT&T…nothing special order…although I did think it a good feature when the kids leave their phones lying around with a ton of personal information. It was his graduation gift (with four years of data). Partly selfish on my end…he has little excuse to ignore email now! ;)</p>

<p>amanda and blueiguana, we discovered that ShawSon needed a smartphone because his school literally runs on email. He’d get emails while he was in class changing a meeting time (e.g., teacher with class or help session). He would have been missing essential stuff if he weren’t online all the time or checking his emails very regularly. I’m guessing that this is similar to other schools (although his is on the small side).</p>
<p>At the time, I got him a Blackberry on T-mobile. Its contract runs out next month. Not sure what to get him. iphones are elegant but the data plans stink on Verizon and we travel a lot. I have a Google G2, which is a great Android phone with a keyboard as well as touch screen, but I’m not sure what’s out that is easy to use and great.</p>

<p>Shawdad - Bluejr ended up with the Atrix 4G and is very happy with it. He did a lot of research on the android based phones before choosing the Atrix in May. I have the iPhone which is fine, but I know a lot of kids like the android format. He never even considered the iPhone. It is a luxury to be sure, but as you pointed out I saw a lot of benefit in being able to check in on email during the day. His school also has a really useful app with bus routes in realtime. Again, a luxury but that’s why it was a grad gift. We have AT&T so that drove the models he considered. We have five phones on a family plan and I am not in the mood to swap, although I’m not convinced AT&T is the best (actually in the mid-Atlantic coverage is cruddy from one side of the house to the other…spotty no matter your carrier. We just got the best deal we could :-/ ).</p>

<p>Following phone thread - We got our DS (and me) a smartphone for graduation. Moved from T-Mobile to Verizon as most people on east coast seemed to say it was good plus since I work for school get a 15% discount on plan, 20% on equipment. Got it before Verizon changed their data plan from unlimited. DS has a HTC Thunderbolt and he seems to love it. He was also one who never checked his email so now it’s nice because he actually does now…and he reads alot of news on it. Believe it will be very helpful at Univ Penn. </p>
<p>FYI for those on T-Mobile…there is a student rate for phone plans…even if it’s not in students name. Verizon also has one for some schools.</p>

<p>capenn, Verizon typically has the best East Coast coverage but it is CDMA instead of GSM so it doesn’t really work much outside of the US except in Canada and parts of Mexico. Given that I and we travel a lot (ShawD was in Europe twice this year and ShawSon once and me many times outside the US in a year), we need GSM, so that leaves AT&T or T-Mobile and I’ve opted for T-Mobile. But, Verizon is superior in the NE without question.</p>
<p>Shawbridge - Good to know. No plans to travel for now…will keep that in mind if he ends up overseas. We had a German student here 2 years ago and he just bought a “go phone” and used it here locally.</p>
<p>My h works for a company here and the employees that go overseas for business have iPhones.</p>
<p>FWIW, the thread listing move in dates was started specifically to keep the list from appearing here on a continual basis. It was agreed that it was hard to keep the conversation of the thread going while competing with the updates. If the group would rather have it here, no problems, but that was the original consensus. </p>
<p>On a personal note, I do like having it posted here once in a while for reference. Maybe August 1 would be a good round date to post the most updated list from the other thread, then once a week until all our kids are launched? If everyone likes this maybe our Cptn could post this when he does his countdown?</p>
<p>blueiguana - true about the other listing. It just “disappeared” so I think someone else posted it and then another, and then me. What I notice now is that the 2 posts are different. Would love to have it done with countdown…:P</p>
<p>That was the dedicated list that was started and supported by many of the posters on this forum and its predecessor. Since it was a single topic thread and didn’t get posts on a steady basis, it fell off of page 1 and into the depths of the thread listings. I was only trying to get an update so that I have a solid list to use when the actual move-in dates get near beginning in a couple of weeks.</p>
<p>Thanks for everyone who has corrected and/or updated the list. I will copy it off of the thread and onto the Word template I use for the countdown postings so that I have everything in one place and can easily update and post the daily countdown and move-in activities.</p>
<p>It’s hard to believe the SS Indecision is now old news and the first College Class of 2015 move-ins begin is just a couple of weeks! Where did the summer go?</p>
<p>New topic - Saw Page One…the documentary about the NY Times. Excellent if you like that sorta movie. Finally saw Avatar - loved that too altho should have seen it in 3D theater not at home.</p>
<p>Back to phones - I get digital NY Times daily. They have lots of great info on every type of technology. That is my project for next week. Want to buy a new phone, laptop or tablet & desktop by mid-month.</p>
<p>FlMathMom - That’s a lot of tech! I’ll be interested in your choices. I used to get the Times on my iPhone and then they decided to charge. I get the front page now (or a select few articles). I loved the tech section when I could access it.</p>
